Every day.Save the Children works in communities in the United States and around the world, making sure children are healthy, nourished, protected and learning. Through our groundbreaking work in child survival, early education and protection, we provide children with a strong foundation for the future.

Save the Children focuses on improving the health and nutrition of newborn babies, children and their mothers. We target the major causes of death and provide access to high-impact, low-cost care that saves lives. We help train and equip frontline health workers to deliver care in the world’s most challenging, and often remote, places. We support parents in good nutrition and healthy behaviors, such as exclusive breastfeeding. We empower families to provide nutritious food for their children to thrive. We work

to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS. And we re-spond rapidly with lifesaving care in times

of crisis. In the United States, we pro-vide children with physical activity,

nutrition education and balanced food choices.

We know the solutions – a health worker within reach of every child, care for newborn babies and their mothers, immunizations, treatment of the most common childhood killers, and good newborn and child nutrition.

Malnutrition is the underlying cause of almost half of the deaths among children under age 5. Malnutrition before the age of 2 can lead to life-long physical and cognitive stunting. Yet nutrition is often under-resourced. We used the platform of the 2013 G8 Summit to highlight the problem and actions needed, helping to secure an increased investment of $4.1 billion in child nutrition. We worked with partners in the Global Nutrition Compact and the Scaling Up Nutrition movement that led to 19 countries (including the U.S.) establishing targets to reduce stunting. Our advocacy, support and civil society engage-ment helped inform and influence the rollout of the national nutrition program in Ethiopia, integration of nutrition into provincial-level plans in Pakistan, and changing the maternity leave law and approving a ban on advertising breast milk substitutes in Vietnam.

Health, Hunger and NutritionFor the first time, an end to preventable child deaths is within reach. Save the Children is campaigning at the local and global levels, mobilizing people, influencing govern-ments and building partnerships to put in place policies and programs that can save lives.

Despite dramatic recent improvements in child survival, more than 18,000 children die every day from preventable and treatable causes, often because they lack access to health care. This is simply unacceptable.

Living up to our name, we’re saving children’s lives in some of the hardest-to-reach places using community-based health care.

In remote regions of Nicaragua, we’re working with trained community health workers – called brigadistas – to treat and prevent life-threatening illnesses, such as pneumonia, diarrhea and dysentery. Brigadistas also encourage behaviors, such as early and exclusive breast-feeding, to prevent disease and to promote health. The result for Nicaraguan children? Deaths of children under

age 5 in these regions decreased by half since 2006. The national Ministry of Health has now endorsed this approach for all communities where the risk of child death is high.

Save the Children is also supporting Community Case Management programs to help bring lifesaving care closer to home for children in remote communities in more than 20 developing countries. Working with global and national partners, we are helping to improve policies and guidelines, and to introduce tools for training and supporting frontline health workers in each of these countries.

We’re not stopping there – we’re expanding this approach to include newborn babies, who are often overlooked by health care programs. We’re advocating for increased attention and resources for newborn care – and working to integrate newborn care best practices into national policies and plans in more than 20 countries in Asia and Africa.

In places like Nepal, where over 40 percent of children under age 5 face chronic malnutrition, Save the Children is


Your generous support gave more mothers around the world a reason to celebrate – healthy newborn babies. But there’s still a lot of work to

do. More than 1 million babies die on the day of their birth – making it the most dangerous day in a child’s life. This represents 15 percent of all under-5 child deaths. Our flagship 2013 State of the World’s Mothers report outlined key find-ings and recommendations to help reduce child mortality – focusing on the first day of life. The report includes our annual Mothers’ Index, ranking the best and worst places to be a mom, and our first-ever Birth Day Risk Index. Together, we’re working toward celebrating even more birth days.

Happy Birth Days


Chronically malnourished children are on average nearly 20 percent less literate than those who have a nutri-

tious diet, according to Save the Children’s groundbreaking research, reported in Food for Thought. Missing out on nutritious food not only impacts a child’s

early cognitive development, it has far-reaching effects on economic growth. We estimate the global economic impact of malnutrition is up to $125 billion.

implementing a program in partnership with USAID that integrates nutrition, household-level farming and animal raising, plus water, sanitation and hygiene activities in the country’s most challenging areas. We use demonstrations, as well as an interac-tive radio program to ensure mothers and children get the nutrition they need. Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), the backbone of the Nepalese health extension program, are trained to counsel and support mothers and families on nutrition choices and behaviors. Today, more than 300,000 families have been empowered to ensure the next generation of children get the nutrition they need to survive and thrive.

HIV/AIDSAn estimated 34 million people in the world are living with AIDS – that’s about 1 in 200 people. And more than 3.4 million of them are children. That’s why Save the Children has prevention programs to stop the spread of HIV and treatment programs to prevent mother-to-child transmission and care for children known to be HIV-positive. We reached 37.8 million children with HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment last year.

In Nepal, Save the Children partnered with 54 organiza-tions in 39 districts to increase access to HIV/AIDS-related services, using peer educators and others within their own communities. Services include voluntary HIV counseling and

Save the Children is driving the elimination of pediatric HIV and improving the survival of HIV-positive mothers and exposed infants in Zimbabwe. We provided compre-hensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment training to nurses in nine rural health centers. And we trained more than 100 village health workers on communi-ty outreach activities, including follow-up with new mothers and HIV-exposed newborns.

In the United StatesMore than half of children living below the poverty line in rural America are overweight or obese, often under-nourished at the same time – and therefore at risk for a lifetime of health problems.

Our Healthy Choices program exposes children to healthier ways of living through physical activity, nutrition education and balanced food choices. Eating well and being physically active at an early age not only keeps kids healthy, but helps them focus in school, boosting academic performance, so they grow up to reach their full potential. We ensure children in our program have at least 30 minutes of fun physical activity and a healthy snack every day, in addition to weekly nutrition education lessons.

World-renowned footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, joined Save the Children as a Global Artist Ambassador last year. In his new role, Cristiano is helping us fight child hunger and obesity, and promote physical activity and healthy eating. As proof of his global reach, our Twitter announcement of Cristiano’s commitment led to a record of more than 700 retweets and 16.5 million impressions.

Score!

Education is the road children follow to reach their full potential in life. Yet many children in need around the world do not get a quality education. Save the Children supports education for all children in the classroom and at home. We train teachers in more effective teaching practices. We help children prepare to

enter school. We offer ways to get kids learning outside of school hours.

We make sure children don’t stop learning during a crisis. And we help

school-age kids stay healthy, so they don’t fall behind or drop out of school. We also provide youth with the skills to succeed – like learning a trade or building a business. In the United States, we focus on the importance of early childhood learning and literacy.

ing, reading assessments and community-based support. The program has directly reached 192,000 children in 24 countries. For example, in Ethiopia, Literacy Boost has significantly improved children’s reading skills compared with control schools, leading World Vision and other partners to imple-ment it more widely.

We’ve adapted this approach to meet specific educational needs in Rwanda. We’re working with the government and engaging parents and communities to strengthen literacy teaching in child care centers and elementary schools. In 2013, we trained 815 teachers and established libraries in

EducationOne third of elementary school-aged children aren’t learning the basics because of poor quality education. And 57 million children, half of them in conflict-affected countries, can’t access education at all.

In 2013, Save the Children worked with partners to provide education to 9.8 million children, including those affected by humanitarian crises.

Children participating in Literacy Boost, now in 24 countries, are mak-ing significant progress in reading, according to our Beyond School Walls report. A key strategy, out-of-class-room learning, has shown significant

results, even for the most vulnerable children – those living in extreme poverty, girls and those with

few books or no one to read to them at home. Overall, Literacy Boost children attend more school, read faster and with more comprehension than their peers – giving them a greater chance for success in school and life.

Sadly, attacks on education are not uncommon, and the number of recorded attacks on education has increased in recent years, according to Save the Children’s Attacks on Education report. We found 3,643 incidents of reported attacks against education in 17 countries.

Our research was leveraged at the United Nations by youth delegates from around the globe, advocating for a quality education for all children,

even those living in areas of war and conflict. They were led by Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani school girl, now education campaigner, whose only “crime” was a desire to learn, when she was shot and gravely wounded by armed men on her way back from school. We call on world leaders to tackle this crisis now – because children can’t wait.

In the United StatesSave the Children is working to close the achievement gap before it starts. Children living in poverty are less likely to attend preschool and often live in households where early learning activities are few and far between. This means 16 million American children aren’t prepared to start school and are already developmentally behind their peers by up to 18 months. Our Early Steps to School Success program is laying a critical foundation of language and literacy skills for children from birth to age 5. In 2013, a majority of children in our program scored at or above the normal range for vocabulary development, a key learning indicator.

By fourth grade, if children can’t read at grade level, they’re unlikely to ever catch up. We also provided after-school literacy programs, in which 73 percent of children achieved significant reading improvement – the equivalent of almost five additional months of school.

almost 700 classrooms. To underpin this, we’re building a culture of literacy in Rwanda in an innovative way. We’re enabling publishers, writers and illustrators to produce local language children’s books, so families with young children can enjoy books together.

Through our Skills to Succeed initiative, we delivered job training and placement services to help more than 12,000 youth in China, Egypt, Indonesia and the Philippines get a job or build a business. And more than 55,000 young people in Colombia, Ghana, Kenya and Nepal participated in Youth-Save, an innovative program that uses savings accounts as a tool for youth development and financial inclusion.

On a glorious evening in October, some of our most influential supporters, in both the public and private sectors, gathered in recognition and support of our early education work in the U.S. at a benefit gala in New York City, hosted by Save the Children and Calvin Klein.

Tabby, mother of Serenity, age 3, spoke about the difference Save the Children’s work in West Virginia has made in her daughter’s life – and future.

Honorees included former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, award-winning actress and Save the Children Artist Ambassador Jennifer Garner, PVH Corp.’s Chairman and CEO Emanuel (Manny) Chirico, the Bezos Family foundation and Tipton Elementary School’s Early Childhood Coordinator Virginia Almeida. Hosted by Jenna Bush Hager, presenters included New York Giants’ Victor Cruz, Victor Garber and Caroline Kennedy. Guests enjoyed a special musical performance by multi-plati-num and Grammy-nominated recording artist Daughtry.

The event raised more than $2 million to help give even more American kids a strong start in life.

Children are vulnerable to abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence, especially those living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Save the Children focuses on the most vulnerable children, while aiming for the safety and well-being of all children. We

develop public awareness campaigns against child trafficking. We pilot training on

supportive care. And we advocate for more effective national protection policies and child welfare reform. In the United States and around the world, we also provide pro-tection in times of crisis – when children are most vulnerable.

We’re working with children and their parents or care-givers to help them access support and strengthen their resilience. This integrated approach encompasses health, care and development, nutrition and economic strength-ening, as well as child protection.

We developed the package with partners as a toolkit for policymakers and service providers. The program’s success resulted in an endorsement by the government of Malawi, where it is being rolled out through early childhood centers, local partners and home-visiting programs.

The Essential Package is benefitting children in multiple countries. In Mozambique, it helped reduce serious illness among children’s main caregivers by 19 percent, making them better able to provide care.

Child ProtectionEvery year, up to 1.5 billion children experience physical, sexual or emotional violence. Save the Children works to end all forms of violence against children.

Receiving good care as a young child reduces children’s risk of violence, exploitation and institutional care, and is linked with life-long well-being. Children almost always do best within families, but some vulnerable families need additional support to care for young children.

In Malawi, our Essential Package program ensures that children who lack appropriate care or whose families are affected by extreme poverty or HIV/AIDS, can thrive.

No one knows when or where the next crisis will strike. But we do know that children are disproportionately affected in times of crisis – and often suffer most. That’s why Save the Children is committed to providing child-focused emergency readiness, relief and recovery in the United States and around the world. We work with children, families and communities to help them prepare for emergencies.

When crisis strikes, we provide immediate emergency relief, ensuring children’s health,

education and protection needs are met. For example, we create Child-Friendly

Spaces for children to safely play and learn, even in the midst of crisis. Unique, among emergency responders, Save the Children stays as long as it takes after crisis strikes, helping children, families

and communities recover from their losses and rebuild their lives.

In 2013, Save the Children released Childhood Under Fire, a report detailing the traumatic impact of war on Syria’s innocent children. We also planned a series of vigils in 21 countries around the world – in addition to a virtual vigil, in which more than 600 Save the Children supporters sent out a “Thunderclap”

message of solidarity across social media. And we con-tinue to do whatever it takes to help Syria’s children.

response was our first truly joint operation with the medi-cal charity Merlin in 2013, helping us save even more lives in times of crisis.

We achieved rapid results for children by establishing nine mobile clinics and deploying a specialist trauma team to treat people in Tacloban and on remote islands. We provided more than 42,000 medical consultations. We also delivered food to 200,000 children and their families, and provided water, medicine, shelter and psychosocial support.

We’re there for the long haul, to help communities rebuild their lives, particularly in nine of the poorest prov-inces that suffered the most. Through a three-year strategy, we aim to build a better future for over 800,000 children in the Philippines. We’re investing in social services to safe-guard children, and we’re building community resilience to minimize future shocks.

long-standing local presence has enabled us to reach 1.2 million children in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, and we’re reaching more every day.

We’re enabling families to access essential household supplies, clean water and sanitation, and to improve their food security and livelihoods. And we’re helping children recover from shocking experiences and return to school.

In 2013, we vaccinated 21,000 children to help prevent polio among the ever-growing refugee population. During the winter months, we ran our largest ever shelter program to support refugee families.

Despite the challenges of working in a conflict situa-tion, we assisted nearly 715,000 people inside Syria. We’ve also been advocating for increased access for humanitarian aid.

Hurricane SandyIn one of our largest domestic emergency responses to date, Save the Children has continued throughout 2013 to help children and their families in the northeastern United States still struggling to cope with the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. Our comprehensive emer-gency response has helped more than 52,000 people, including some 40,000 children. And we’re still there. We’ve restored child care centers and helped get kids back to school. We’ve delivered our Journey of Hope emotional recovery program to thousands of children and their caregivers. We’re still helping entire communi-ties rebuild and return to normalcy, including strengthen-ing emergency readiness throughout the region.

Oklahoma TornadoesOne moment, it was a lovely spring day, the next a scene of unimaginable terror, devastation and loss as a series of tornadoes tore through central Oklahoma in May, severely impacting the lives of tens of thousands of people. Save the Children, the nation’s leader in child-focused emergency response, immediately deployed emergency teams to protect and support children and their families, providing critical funds and programs to help childcare facilities rebuild and families rebound. With the help of our generous supporters, we have reached almost 18,500 people, more than half of them children – with immediate relief and long-term recovery services. And our efforts continue.

In 2013, Save the Children launched Get Ready Get Safe – a pioneering initiative designed to help U.S. com-munities prepare to protect and care for the most vulnerable among us in times of crisis – our children. We help

generate child-focused emergency plans,

provide emer-gency training and ensure emergency resources are in place before

Through the power of advocacy, Save the Children leverages the sustainable success of our programs to achieve large-scale results for children. We speak on behalf of children with some of the world’s most powerful authorities – from the U.S. government to the United Nations Security Council – advancing policy change and securing investments that benefit millions of children, not only for today, but for our future.

Around the WorldIn 2013, Save the Children achieved tremendous progress for children through the power of advocacy in several priority areas.

For maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition, we exceeded our policy objectives, helping secure the highest-ever U.S. Government investment of $820 million, representing a 12 percent increase for health and a 21 percent increase for nutrition.

Our sustained advocacy efforts on behalf of Syria’s children resulted in additional U.S. humanitarian assistance, allowing Save the Children to deliver desperately needed emergency relief to millions of children inside Syria and in refugee camps along its borders. We also advocated for the Presidential Statement on humanitarian access in Syria, which was adopted by the UN Security Council.

On food aid, our considerable work led to Congress taking bold action on reforms in programming flexibility and efficiency that will result in reaching up to one million more children and families suffering from hunger here in the United States and around the world, with the same level of U.S. investment.

Save the Children continues to be a leading voice for children as we approach the 2015 deadline for reaching the world’s current global goals to address extreme poverty – the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – and world leaders begin to shape the future agenda. Save the Children’s global flagship report, Framework for the Future: Ending Poverty in a Generation, outlines a new development system to end extreme poverty in the next 20 years. An historic achievement is within reach. Save the Children is already working with many of the key public, private, civil society and academic partners in this dialogue – focused on ensuring that the post-2015 framework clearly accounts for the needs of all children.

Policy. Advocacy.


Last April,Save the Children youth advocates visited Washington, DC for our 2013 Advocacy Summit – Keeping Kids Safe!

Thanks to you, we advocate for better lives – and futures – for mothers and children like Sadma and 18-month-old Madheeha from India.

Our most successful Advocacy Summit ever involved more than 375 participants, including 120 youth scholars, from 25 states and 11 coun-tries. Together, we advocated for keeping kids safe in 180 Congressional meetings – that’s 41% of Congress!

Our virtual participation resulted in 350 advocacy calls and nearly 8,500 emails to Congress, in addition to live-streaming, live-tweeting and a “Thunderclap” of social media support.

Voices for Change

In the United StatesMore than half of our nation’s young children are not enrolled in preschool, despite overwhelming evidence that early childhood education makes an enormous difference in narrowing the achievement gap, especially for children who come from families living below the poverty line.

Save the Children’s Mark Shriver and Artist Ambassa-dor Jennifer Garner helped launch bipartisan legislation on Capitol Hill last year that would dramatically expand early learning opportunities in America. The “Strong Start for America’s Children Act” builds upon President Obama’s early education proposal announced in his 2013 State of the Union address by helping states fund preschool for all children of low-income families and by expanding additional learning opportunities.

Shriver and Garner were joined by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the bill’s cosponsors, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA), Rep. George Miller (D-CA) and Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY) to unveil the legislation, alongside preschool children, parents, educators, and members of the law enforcement, military, and business communities.

Since 2008, Save the Children has conducted pioneer-ing, national research to determine how well our states are prepared in an emergency to care for our most vulnerable citizens: our children. We have actively



All children deserve the chance to succeed, but right now millions don’t get one. With this legislation, we have an historic opportunity to give the nearly 1 in 4 children living in poverty a chance at a brighter future.”

Our 2013 Disaster Report Card, Unaccounted For: A National Report Card on Protecting Children in Disasters, was big news once again. We reached

more than 900 million Americans, generating more than 1,300 media placements,

including the front page of USA Today, ABC World News Tonight, FOX Business, FOX News and The Weather Channel. Americans are paying atten-tion like never before to our children’s safety when crisis strikes.

Attention: Disaster Report Card

Kids in crisis need very special care and protection — like those who lived through Oklahoma’s deadly twisters. We raise our voices for kids, every day, so our leaders give children’s needs top priority before, during and after crisis strikes.

Early learning for kids like Victor, age 3, from New Jersey, makes all the difference for success in school – and life.

2013 HighlightsAdvocacy Summit 2013Save the Children took our annual Advocacy Summit in Washington, DC to a whole new level in 2013 – with increased participation, both in person and virtually, and more Congressional meetings and other advocacy actions. Our focus: Keeping Kids Safe.

We secured participation by Senior Advisor to the President Valerie Jarrett, USAID Administrator Raj Shah, Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle and five members of Congress. In addition, we tripled co-spon-sorship for the Frontline Health Worker Resolution, quadrupled the number of signers to the MCH funding letter, and identified numerous Congressional supporters and champions for children. In addition, closing ceremonies included recognition of our REAL Award winners for their extraordinary service in health care.

We not only advanced policy change, but we positioned Save the Children as the “go-to” organization for children among key influencers.

Pfizer Inc was our first-ever Advocacy Summit corporate sponsor, with participation by the Greenwich Leadership Council, other corporate partners, major donors, child sponsors and members of the Frontline Health Workers Coalition.

advocated for and continue to track significant progress since then. Our 2013 Disaster Report Card revealed that five additional states meet all preparedness standards, a notable increase over 2012 – for a new total of 22 states.

Unfortunately, despite a record disaster year and high-profile school tragedies, most states still fall short when it comes to protecting our children in emergencies. Save the Children continues to advocate for change, ensuring our children’s safety – and holding our states accountable.



During our 2013 Global Day of Action, 41,000 children (including 12,000 in the U.S. alone) participated in Save the Children’s worldwide marathon relay races to raise awareness and funds for the millions of children whose lives are on the line. And more than 80,000 kids from 68 countries called on governments to end preventable child deaths. That’s also the day we re-leased our Lives on the Line report, intro-ducing an innovative new approach to evaluating our progress in reducing child mortality.

Global Day of Action

Although children are universally regarded as society’s hope for the future, governments too often underinvest in them. Save the Children’s innovative Child Rights Governance strategy focuses on local children’s champions and the fun-damental role they play competing in the political arena for public resources for children. A new Save the Children program in Tanzania is showing how this strategy can influence local governments to invest in programs vital to children – in this case, a “one-stop center” at the local hospital to treat and prevent violence against children.

every day. in times of crisis. for our future.

Save the Children USA’s financial standing continues to remain very strong after concluding our 82nd year of investment in the well-being of the world’s children.

Led by robust humanitarian responses to the emer-gencies in Syria and the Philippines, 2013 brought the highest level of operating revenue to Save the Children USA in agency history: $676.3 million, a 13 percent increase from 2012. Contributions and private grants, including Commodities from the UN’s World Food Program, accounted for $395.5 million, 58 percent of revenues, while U.S. government support, including its portion of Commodities, totaled $206.3 million, or 31 percent of revenues. Child Sponsorship, at $53.7 million, represents 8 percent of the remaining 11 percent of operating revenue.

Agency spending for the year totaled $675.1 million, another historic high, with significantly increased spending in the Middle East on the Syria emergency, almost tripling the region’s geographic portion of spend, from 7 percent of total in 2012 to 18 percent

in 2013. Spending in Asia, Africa and the U.S. all remained approximately the same proportionate size as 2012, with only Latin America declining. Approximately 35 percent of programmatic spending was related to emergency response activities (up 5 percentage points), 23 percent for health/nutrition and 17 percent for education. The remaining 25 per-cent is fairly equally divided among the remaining thematic areas.

Save the Children USA experienced an unre-stricted operating surplus of $3.9 million in 2013, due mainly to the one-time gain on the sale of our Westport headquarters building for $4.25 million. The resulting difference is virtually breakeven (a $351 thousand unrestricted operating deficit, or 0.05% of operating revenue). We also experienced a $2.7 million timing-related deficit in temporarily restricted funds from the spending of the previous year’s restricted funds.

Unrestricted net assets totaled $126.3 million in 2013, up $14.7 million from 2012, and total net assets increased by 8 percent to $197.6 million, the highest in agency history. The overall net asset changes reflect endowment gift inflow, currency exchange, the operating deficit, and a 14.5 percent overall investment performance (with 10 percent used to increase net assets).

In 2013, Save the Children USA directed 89.4 percent of overall expenses to programs – an important mea-sure of financial health. For the past nine years straight, we have kept the private cost of raising $1 at, or below, 10 cents. And for the 12th year in a row, Charity Navigator gave us its highest four-star rating.

Save the Children USA entered 2014 financially strong and well positioned to move forward in strengthening our global movement for children – securing a better future for all of us.

Our Global Corporate Partners have committed $3 million or more annually toward Save the Children’s mission and are working in four or more global markets.

Skills to Succeed initiative, which equips young people around the world with skills to get a job or build a business. With Accenture’s support, we will reach nearly 44,000 youth by 2015. We are proud to welcome Accenture as a global corporate partner.

Because of our successful partnership, Skills to Succeed has become a Save the Children signature program. In addition to having committed more than $5.7 million to date to Save the Children, Accenture provides support by investing the time and skills of its people on pro bono consulting projects.

“Corporate citizenship is fundamental to Accenture’s character and the way we run our high-performance busi-ness. We are proud of our long, expanding partnership with Save the Children. They play a vital role in both maximizing social impact and as our partner in our Skills to Succeed goal of helping 700,000 people by 2015.”

– Bent Dalager, Accenture Managing DirectorFinancial Services, Nordic

Since 2009, our partnership with Bulgari has helped us to

Over $27 million has been cumulatively raised through sales of a specially-designed ring, promoted thanks to the pro bono support of over 170 celebrities.

“It is my heartfelt belief that aligning common interests across our two worlds and cultures will not only enhance Bulgari’s corporate reputation and Save the Children’s philanthropic reach, it will also make all of us even more passionate and committed about what we do.”

– Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO, Bulgari

The IKEA Foundation is our largest global corporate partner. We have been partners with IKEA since 1994.

Together, we have developed the IKEA Code of Conduct to prevent child labor in its supply chain.

Since 2008, we have worked together to address the root causes of child labor in the cotton seed and cotton production industry in India and Pakistan. So far, more than 60 of our programs around the world have been supported by the IKEA Foundation. “Our collaboration with Save the Children has helped millions of children in developing countries, by improving education and promoting children’s well-being. Together, we are helping children all over the world break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their families.”

2013 marked the 10th year of our global partnership with RB and the re-launch of “Healthier kids, Happier homes.” Our joint ambition is to help stop children

under age 5 dying from diarrhea by 2020, by combining our expertise and skills and investing in new product innovation.

The partnership raised $9 million in 2013 through employee fundraising and corporate donations. This funding enabled us to launch a groundbreaking program in Pakistan, with further programs to follow to help us realize our ambition.

“We want to make a difference by providing innovative solutions for healthier lives and happier homes. Our hugely expanded partnership with Save the Children will go some way to creating lasting improvements in the health and hygiene of vulnerable children and families globally.”

basic nutrition and lifesaving interventions in five priority countries. During 2013, the partnership’s program work aimed to train 5,200

health service providers, improve health clinics and directly benefit 558,000 women and children.

“Our partnership with Save the Children aims to bring about transformational change. It has already touched the lives of more than 1 million mothers and children, but there is much more to do. Looking after future generations is an intrinsic part of our vision and our ambition to grow sustainably and equitably.”

– Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever

In 2013, we launched our global partnership with GlaxoSmithKline to help save

the lives of a million of the world’s poorest children. Through this unique collaboration, our two organizations are sharing expertise, resources, reach and influence to tackle some of the leading causes of childhood deaths. We are accelerating progress on lifesaving, low-cost products including a gel to prevent umbilical cord infec-tion in newborn babies.

GSK also began its support of our signature program in Democratic Republic of Congo, which aims to reach 450,000 people with essential, basic health care – we have already reached more than 2,000 rural chil-dren through an immunization campaign.

“A partnership of this scale gives us an opportunity to do something amazing – to help save the lives of 1 million children – and transform the lives of millions more. By joining forces with Save the Children, we can create a new momentum for change and stop children dying from pre-ventable diseases.”

Every year, one million babies die on the day they are born and nearly two million more die within the first month of life. In some communities around the world, children are not even named until they survive the first month. Save the Children works to reach the most vulnerable newborns, children and their mothers in some of the world’s most challenging places with high-impact, low-cost care that save lives. In the remote mountains of Nepal, this includes health and nutrition training for new and expecting mothers.

Thanks to your generous support, Save the Children was able to help children like these get back to learning as soon as possible after Typhoon Haiyan’s devastating blow to the Philippines. We set up temporary learning spaces, supplied with books and other learning materials. Now Angel can continue imagining herself as a character in her beloved books, including her favorite: Cinderella.
